Alice
Sisters Of Mercy
Some Girls Wander By Mistake (1992)

Alice pressed against the wall so
(live version is 'She stands pressed...')
She can see the door
In case the laughing strangers call and
Crush the petals on the floor
Alice in her party dress, she
Thanks you kindly, so serene, she
Needs you like she needs her tranks to
Tell her that the world is clean, to
Promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright and
Tell her she can have it all
Today

Pass the crystal, spread the Tarot
In illusion comfort lies, the
Safest way, the straight and narrow
No confusion no surprise
Alice in her party dressed to kill she
Thanks you, turns away, she
Needs you like she needs needs her pills to
Tell her that the world's okay, to
Promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright and
Tell her she can have it all
Today
Today
Alice
Don't give it way
